Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups peeled and chopped apples (approximately 4 apples)
  • water + 1 Tbs. lemon juice
  • 1 Tbs. ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tbs. sugar
  • 1 cup gfJules™ All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
  • 1/3 cup certified gluten-free quick/instant oats (Gluten Free Harvest Oats)
  • 1 ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. sea salt
  • 2 eggs or alternative
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar (cane, coconut palm, etc.)
  • ¼ cup bourbon or apple cider
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup butter or non-dairy alternative I used Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks, melted
  • ¼ cup applesauce (“natural,” no sugar added)
  • demerara sugar ice cream or whipped cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Oil an 8- or 9-inch spring-form pan and set aside.
  • Peel and chop apples, placing them in a large bowl with water and lemon juice to help prevent the apples from browning. Once all the apples are chopped, drain them and toss with cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together gfJules Flour, gluten free oats, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In another small bowl, combine melted butter and applesauce. Set aside.
  • Whip eggs in a mixing bowl with whisk or whisk attachment until foamy, approximately 2-3 minutes. Add sugar, bourbon and vanilla. Once mixed, add the butter-applesauce alternating with the dry ingredient mixture until combined.
  • Fold in apples and spoon into prepared pan.
  • Bake for 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove to cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then remove sides of the pan (run a butter knife around the inside of the pan if necessary to loosen).
  • Sprinkle with demerara sugar, if desired.
  • Serve warm on its own or topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
